Abstract

In this article we propose to discuss the relevance of the literature written by the women of the Raj during the time of the English Empire on the Indian subcontinent. Therefore we will interpret three short stories written at the end of the nineteenth and beginning of the twentieth century to show how these women writers go beyond the 'literature of the pictureseque', the epistemological locus in which they are imprisoned by imperial discourse, in order to express their own views on colonial history.
